Songs of love, travel, roots and home, with the odd steam train thrown in, are told through the harmonised vocals of the songwriters. Piano, guitar, fiddle, melodeon, bass and drums fuse to form a myriad of sound that is unique to the Pig Earth experience.

Monday 20 - Friday 24 July 10am-12noon at Morley College, Waterloo, London Taught by Alex Crowe

Skinner Releasing Technique (SRT) teaches the fundamental physical skills and awareness that underlie almost any style of movement and dance. Learning is through non-stylised, improvisatory movement, guided by carefully designed imagery and music, supplemented with hands-on partnerwork. Combining technique with creative process, and precision with playfulness, SRT can lead to deep neuro-muscular changes, yet is enjoyable and accessible to people of all levels of movement aptitude and experience.

This intensive course, covering the first five classes of the Introductory Pedagogy, offers an in-depth experience of this gentle but powerful approach to finding alignment, freedom and creativity in our movement.

For this exhibition Eileen Cooper has just completed a stunning body of work, including major new canvases, gouache studies and an exquisite new set of hand-printed lino-cuts.

Dreams of Elsewhere refers to the imaginative life in the studio environment, with hints of the east as well as the architecture of our dream-life. The compassionate treatment of our inner lives, focusing on everyday events, now continues into exotic realms to which we would all like to be lifted, and we are indebted to Eileen for enticing us with these sublime works. ||  || Eileen Cooper RA / Desire / 2008 / Oil on canvas ||

|| Isabel Rock Ultimate Love Story 17 April - 16 May [|www.bearspace.co.uk] BEARSPACE presents 'Ultimate Love Story', the first solo-exhibition by artist Isabel Rock. BEARSPACE will become the location for Rock's investigation of human behaviour through a series of works layering drawing, print, collage and other intriguing media. Isabel Rock states of her work 'I use distorted animals as a metaphor for human relationships to create a world inhabited by these lecherous slobbering beings, ever ready to consume.' This parallel world creates a space for Rock's creatures to interact with each other making nightmarish, surreal fairy tales for the viewer to observe. ||  || Isabel Rock / Lord Foster / 2009 / Pen ink and collage on print || || Shani Rhys James: Two Ateliers 24 April - 30 May [|www.connaughtbrown.co.uk] Connaught Brown presents its first solo exhibition of works by Shani Rhys James. Her subject matter is consistent and familiar - self-portrait, domestic interior and still life, yet she creates an unusual paradox through her distinctive figurative realism which gives private subject matter very public exposure. Raw paint colours hint at the fragile skin which exists between concealment and exposure, and the often uncomfortable process of self discovery. Disturbing in their mesmeric directness, even at a distance, Rhys James's paintings are characterized by an unmistakable magnetism. ||  ||

|| Laura Letinsky: Likeness 30 April - 30 May [|www.jameshymangallery.com] Laura Letinsky is one of the most important North American artists working in photography today. Her elegiac photographs of detritus on a table-top are both elegantly prosaic and art historically resonant in their reference to Dutch vanitas still life painting of the Seventeenth Century. These still lifes are both everyday and infused with significance. Lyrical and formal, the subjects are dissolved by light, often set off against white walls and table cloths. ||  ||
